The problem with that bend was both the adverse camber and its benign appearance for the unwary. As one of my colleagues proved one evening in his Triumph Herald. Approaching from the Thorny direction he ignored the 'slow' signs and entered too quickly, then braked.... Oversteer, the Herald's swing axle rear suspension and the adverse camber had us out of control and heading for the bondhu at an alarming rate. Fortunately he caught it.....just.

"So I guess 'slow' means 'slow'", quipped my fellow passenger in the back.
